The Italian Village is the newest and most beautiful village in Beaches all-inclusive resort in Turks and Caicos. It looks like an Italian postcard, decorated with rosy and creamy colors, marble, tiles, ornamental metalwork, statues and fountains. The pool is a gorgeous expanse of interlocking ovals and rectangles. It's the centerpiece of the village.

The Italian Village Pool at Beaches Turks & Caicos resort is gorgeous. Fountains give the pool a luxurious feel and the integrated kiddie pool makes it easy for parents to mingle with children in sight.

Pools

We've been to Beaches three times, yet we've only dipped our toes in the Italian Village Pool because its not a good place to swim -- it's the place to party! The pool is surrounded by lounge chairs and cabanas that fill up quickly during the day. There is a swim-up bar on one side of the pool and hot tubs and a kiddie pool on the opposite end. Some of the pool activities include water balloon tosses for kids, line dancing, and water aerobics. Half the pool is filled with people mingling and the other half is where the activities are. The whole place has an energetic vibe.

Daytime Vibe

The Italian Village is full of people during the day. Kids have fun and splash around in the pool and adults have daytime cocktails. There are some quiet places in the village as you get further from the pool. The pizzeria behind Mario's restaurant is pretty mellow and the main lobby is a nice place to relax with a cocktail or cup of coffee.

Evening Vibe

The Italian Village Pool is bustling by day, but it’s tranquil during the evening hours.

It's quiet in the Italian Village once the sun goes down because the resort's evening entertainment is in the three other villages. Some folks mingle outside of Mario's restaurant and The Cricketer's Pub, but it's tame. The pool, which is so alive during the day, is a mellow and quiet void at night.

Entertainment

Nearly all the outdoor entertainment in the Italian Village is in (or around) the pool. There are three kinds of water aerobics classes that run on an alternating schedule, plus dance lessons and water balloon games.

For small children, a "choo choo train" runs between the Italian, Caribbean and French Villages.

The Cricketer's Pub has a game room with billiards and dart boards, but our family hasn't used it because we like to spend our time outside. The same goes for other indoor entertainment like the Xbox Play Lounge (where you can play video games) and the resort's shopping boutiques.

Club Liquid is located on the outskirts of the Italian Village, near the Pirate Island waterpark. This nightclub caters to teenagers from 9:30 to 11 p.m. (the bar serves alcohol-free "mocktails") and then turns into a 21-and-older nightclub from 11 p.m. to 2 a.m. We've never made it to the nightclub because we're early to bed and early to rise.

Bars

There are two outdoor bars in the Italian Village. One is beneath a marble cupola at the village's entrance. This bar is one of the quickest places to get a drink because, for whatever reason, most patrons order simple things like beer and wine. The other bar is connected to the back of the Italian Village Pool. It's one of the slowest places to get a drink because people order frozen cocktails.

Cricketer's, an English-style pub with a game room, is beside Mario's restaurant. It's one of the few restaurants on the resort that has a full bar inside. We've never eaten at Cricketer's (except for the popcorn that is served all day and all night).
